Always keep unauthorized persons away from the area where the gauge is to be used. 10. Always maintain constant surveillance and immediate control of the gauge when it is not in storage. + To make gauges more visible to operators of heavy equipment at construction sites, always " stake and flag" each gauge, being sure that the flags are tall enough to be , seen by heavy equipment operators. I 1. Never look under the gauge when the source rod is being lowered into the ground. 12. After each measurement, always return the source to the shielded position and lock it there. 13. When the gauge is not in use at a temporary jobsite, place the gauge in a secured storage location (e.g., locked in the trunk of a car or locked in a storage shed). 14, Return the gauge to its proper storage location at the end of the work shift. ,

Establish Priorities As Required + Perform life saving measures + Control of fire or other hazards + First aid 2. Secondary Responses If the source fails to return to the shielded position (e.g., as a result of being a. damaged) or if any other emergency or unusual situation arises (e.g., the gauge is struck by a moving vehicle, is dropped, or is in a vehicle involved in an accident): Immediately secure the area around the gauge. Prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the secured area.
b. If any heavy equipment is involved, detain the equipment until it is determined there is no contamination present. A fiberglass whip with a flag at the top (available as a bicycle accessory) can be i attached to the gauge to make its location more obvious to heavy equipment operators. c.
